It’s a moment for dogs when they find their forever homes through adoption. But sometimes things don’t go as expected. The dogs end up being returned to the shelter again.
This unfortunate situation happened to a dog named Tic Tac. Although she was adopted, she has since returned. However, Tic Tac is now optimistic and looking for her home.
Tic Tac is a pit bull in the care of the Voorhees Animal Orphanage located in southern New Jersey. According to People magazine, she was discovered as a stray. She is described as a well-behaved girl with moderate energy levels. She enjoys walking and snuggling.
When Tic Tac found her family three weeks after arriving at the shelter, it seemed like a happy ending for this sweet dog. The caregivers at the Voorhees Animal Orphanage were thrilled. Unfortunately fate had plans.
Tic Tac didn’t get along with the family pet. She ends up in a fight that leads to her being returned to the Voorhees Animal Orphanage.
“In June, there was an altercation that became the straw that broke the camel’s back,” explained Jennifer Bailey, the shelter’s marketing director. She stated that Tic Tac had some scars from the accident.
“I have to admit it’s unfortunate. The owners had to make a decision and Tic Tac chose to leave, so she ended up going back to the shelter.”
The shelter shared a distressing photo of the dog. She looks devastated and confused when she realizes she’s back at the shelter.
“It’s always weird when an animal is returned. They get so excited because they recognize the faces,” Bailey explained. “That confusion you see on her face is because at first they’re so thrilled until they realize, ‘Oh no, I’m here again.'”
However, there is still hope for Tic Tac as it is now more widely available for adoption. The Voorhees Animal Orphanage suggests that she be the dog in their home. While older children are welcome, a fenced yard would be ideal but not mandatory.
Billie stated that they have received requests from people to adopt Tic Tac and will ensure that she finds just the right family to prevent further heartbreak.
“We will continue our efforts until we find the perfect family for her,” Billy stressed.
What an adorable dog! We’re keeping our fingers crossed that she will find a loving home soon. Let’s share this heartwarming story to raise awareness and help Tic Tac find her family!
